Thank you so much for making this video. I was having a hard time understanding how beta blockers work. I’m glad I clicked on your video. Within 15 min I was able to understand how they work. Your video is straight to the point and so easy to understand 👩🏻⚕️🙌👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this video! I have Atrial Fibrillation and my electro cardiologist just put me on Metoprolol Succinate and Flecainide. The question I have is, do you have a video on Flecainide? I’m 58 years old and I haven’t had a need to take any medications until I developed A-fib recently. I’m just trying to educate myself about these drugs that I’m now having to take for the condition I’m experiencing. Thank you, and please keep the information coming on your channel.
Hi hello sir I have headache doctor refer to betacap 10mg I use this tablet but l have wezzing problem last 14 year so continue this tablet please reply
Tell your doctor to change the Betcap to a SELECTIVE Betablockers. The medication you are taking is NON Selective, so it is effecting your lungs. Tell him to give you a SELECTIVE Beta blocker like Metoprolol. Your wheezing should go away, Hope this helps! Always refer to your physician first
Good presentation. Sir you have mentioned, in heart failure only 3 medicines ie, carvedilol bisoprolol metoprolol. So why nebivolol cannot be used bcz it could better replace carvedilol as the later even block beta2 receptor also. While the nebivolol do same as carvedilol without blocking b2 and since no lung issues
That was Great video about beta - blockers. In TH-cam, i found only this video, which can be learned accurately and clearly . Thanks a lot for making this video.🥰🥰
Thank you for your video. Great help!! I am a student in Korea. I believe your lecture would be great help not only for me but also for students who live in korea. And I would like to translate in korean and share online. If it is OK, I would make sure to cite original source, your youtube channel. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!
Hi!😁 The risk will always be there when abruptly stopping any beta blocker. The risk is decreased if it's a lower dose, and a less duration of use (using it for 1 week versus 3 months). It never hurts to slowly taper beta blockers off!
Hi Zain! there are many beta blockers that can be used for A Fib such as metoprolol, atenolol, nadolol, carvedilol, propranolol, bisoprolol. The best thing is to see which one your patient tolerates best
The 3rd generation betablockers (like carvedilol & Labetalol) have unique structures on their molecule that allows them to interact with both the Alpha and Beta receptors
Can carvedilol 12.5mg give to elderly patients? Does carvedilol slow down the heart function n the dilation of blood vessel to cause lesser blood to kidney n causing trouble to the kidney as kidney receiving less oxygen? How long can this medicine given to elderly patient? As the lung receptors are blocked n causing less function to exchange oxygen, could this result the blood cell in the body and organ deteriorate because of less oxygen and nutrients reqiired? Also, since carvedilol put a brake on the heart function, could this eventually worsening the heart n causimg death to elderly? This video is great, excellent explanation. One more question, since carvedilol is an old medicine, does it still widely used?
Sir I take Inderal for anxiety disorder, my doctor has advised me to stop this medicine gradually like 10mg twice a day for a week and then 10mg once a day for a week before stopping it. My question is that if I only take 10mg Inderal once a day whenever I needed can I stop it suddenly, and pls suggest which beta blocker will be suitable for my anxiety?
Hey Ashu, yes you should slow down taking the inderal just like you said. If you decide to take it at times of need, it would be okay to take it once in a while without needing to lower the dose. However, if you are using it only for anxiety, you must take it 1 hour before an event where you may get anxiety. If you need a medication for anxiety, maybe talk to your doctor for an anxiety medicine. Because Inderal is usually only for blood pressure. Hope this helps!
@@DrugChug Sir, I'm grateful to you for your above advice and correct information. I understand that propranolol is basically used to lower the Blood pressure but its action of blocking beta receptors in the heart reduces the symptoms of anxiety. Which is great in dealing some social phobias like public speaking or an interview. I visited a psychiatrist (DM) and he suggested me to take SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) this helps in maintaining the proper level of serotonin in the brain and it cures my anxiety in the correct way.
This video is the best video about the beta blockers I like this vedio Water solubility and lipid solubility about the beta blocker you missed it if you can apply it to this video
I have a question, In what cases would non-selective beta-blockers be prescribed vs selective beta-blockers, given that many of the cases are heart-related issues? Thank you for your videos btw, super helpful and to the point, keep up the great work!! :)
Great question! You have to understand that the non-selective are older drugs. This means some insurance companies want to pay for them first, because they are cheaper. So unfortunately money is a big factor in therapy. Also, some of the nonselective have benefits, for example: propranolol can be used for hyperthyroidism and social anxiety. Hope that clears some things up!
hello. im 31 years old and because of palpitations and high heart beat rate ( usually between 95 to 110 while resting ) im using metoprolol 100 mg after im using this medicine the heart beat rate lowing down to 70 to 85 while resting. so how can i stop using this med ? like lower the dose to use 50 mg a week and then stop ?
Great Question! @Calum For a general answer: These 3 beta blockers proved to be superior in clinical trials for heart failure, and because of these trials, they are recommended. The only other thing is that Carvedilol has antioxidant effects, which help reverse structural damage to the heart, which would surely help our heart failure patients! Hope this helps!
@Mr Stefon_89 Great question. If a patient has hyperthyroidism, then that would be the cause of the tachycardia. We would first try to treat the hyperthyroidism. Either with Iodine, or in some cases even radioactive iodine! If they must be on a beta blocker, Propranolol would be the preferred choice. This is because it prevents the conversion of T4 to T3 (T3 being the more potent thyroid hormone)
Drug Chug well I was on propranolol before for two days but I started getting Ectopic beats all of a sudden when the beta blocker wear off. So a doctor told me too take bisoprolol and I've been on it for two weeks, should I go back on propranolol? Is it safe too change from selective to non selective? By the way I'm on 20mg of carbimozole daily so I believe that helps with the T3 T4 issue
@@mrstefon_8954 The carbimazole is used to to control the thyroid hormone overproduction. If you were experiencing issues with propranolol, then it isnt recommended to go back to that agent. Bisoprolol is a good alternative beta blocker, yes it is selective for B1 (heart) receptors and will help with tachycardia. It is safe to go from non-selective to selective. The only issue would be if a patient had asthma, then we wouldnt want to give non selective because it may effect their sensitive lungs. (B2 receptors)
